Hoffman, Bateman stun fans with public smooch

Actors Dustin Hoffman and Jason Bateman shocked the crowd at a basketball game in Los Angeles on June 3 – by kissing for the big-screen cameras.

The stars were part of a celebrity-packed audience, including Adam Sandler, Snoop Dogg and Leonardo DiCaprio, who had all turned out at the Staples Center to watch the NBA Finals opener between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.

Hoffman and Bateman stunned fans as the arena’s ‘Kiss Me-Cam’ – designed to catch smooching couples – zoomed into the area where they were sitting next to each other, but instead of locking lips with the women next to them, they shared a kiss themselves.

As Hoffman lent in for the kiss, the stadium roared with cheers as the clinch was transmitted on to the big screens in a heart shape.
